Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability of:

  • inadequate bonding with bitumen, which could lead to displacement due to wind scouring or traffic,
  • degradation of aggregate due to water absorption and freeze-thaw cycling, and traffic, or
  • inadequate protection from ultraviolet light from the sun, which could lead to a loss of necessary physical properties.

This is to limit the probability of water penetrating directly to roof decking or sheathing, which could lead to deterioration, which could lead to the structural failure of roofs or assemblies protected by roofs, which could lead to harm to persons.
